Thank you fir the response. I am using a nikon dslr d3300 and looking at upgrading to d3500 or d7x00.

I shoot mostly landscapes, but also do some macro and portrait in IR so focus cabilities are important.

Since I need full focus and only use liveview auto focus, are you saying I need the clear glass to replace the filter?

If your not planning on shooting UV at all clear optical glass (of similar thickness to the original filter) is the way to go.

Note leaving the sensor exposed can increase issues with cleaning as well as messing up focus.
